What's your point? I'm not looking for the highest cocoa content, I'm looking for the best chocolate bar. Hershey's is a damn good bar with a unique, enjoyable flavor and texture. It has layers of nostalgia woven into the experience for almost every American boy and girl while we're at it. That dictates quality, not some snobbish number assignment about how much ground bean they put in the thing.
This is quality sarcasm, unlike Hershey "candy". There should be a rule where you're not allowed to mention Hershey "chocolate flavoured candy" in a grown up chocolate discussion.

Have you seen any tasting videos? That's the ONLY word Brits use to describe foods they like. No joke.

Hershey's chocolate, good? Kinder, god tier? Cadbury, gross? *shakes head*

No thats absolute poison.
Is this a cultural thing? In Australia at least, "nice" is a perfectly common word to describe things that are in any way good, i.e. a nice day, a nice sandwich, a nice person, etc.

Going with that True Neutral chocolate I see.
Or can it be Lawful/Chaotic as long as the other part is Neutral?

If you think is snobbish or fancy to prefer real chocolate you have to discuss it more with your Latin American friends so you rid yourself of the idea that it is some European whim instead of plainly wanting the natural flavor of the thing.

Though I'm not too keen on their chocolate bars, ladies seem to like tobago assorted.

I'm one of those heathens that prefers white chocolate.
Milk chocolate is fine too, as long as it's not Hershey's.
I haven't had these in years but I still think of them from time to time. Damn addicting things.

My god this man knows what's up.
Hadn't tried one in years till last year when a cousin's son was selling some. You better believe I bought every almond, crisp, and milk chocolate bar he had.
Except the caramel ones...those he could keep and never sell.

That is without a doubt the World's Finest chocolate.
Def Chaotic Neutral as that's how you get shit like almonds and sea salt involved. Every bar a mystery party!

I've fallen in love with Askinoise chocolate. It's single origin and every bar (specifically the ittys) are from different countries and the back states which one. Every countries chocolate has a different flavor profile and its pretty incredible.
Paired with espresso, these are the fucking best.

Nothing wrong with milk chocolate but you Hershey's fans should at least try Meiji.
This was a guilty pleasure; ate a shitload when I was in Japan.
Speaking of which, Kobe dark chocolate... damn I miss that

Have I entered crazytown?Lindt is gross.
Green & Blacks are so good.
I don't like milk chocolate at all and find Cadbury kind of sickening at times.
I just had this one though and it was pretty great:
Yes!
Yessss!Lindt is gross.
Green & Blacks are so good.
Yessssssssssssss!
Had this the other day, it was delicious. I fucking love dark chocolate.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssss!
I also have an affinity for these Belgian Seashell chocolates. My neighbors used to bring these over every year for xmas and the smooth, buttery flavors were heavenly:
I used to love milk chocolate (and Reeses were my favorite candy) but now I've shifted tastes and am currently in love with dark chocolate.
I've tasted several dark chocolates, especially some mentioned in this thread but I love Ghirardelli's the best.
Notably the 72%, but I like to mix and match in pairs.

The matter therein lies that you want to keep upping the % bit by bit. It's kind of like booze. You start with beer, then suddenly you try hard liquor and there's no going back. Once in a while, yeh, beer/~50% Lindt is all right, but you know you've got the beautiful superior waiting there for you.

Just tried this recently. So good.
you should try all their flavours (Corn flakes, biscuits etc) - those bars are really delicious.

My man! My fave is the one with just sea salt but that one is good too.
I pretty much only eat Lindt chocolate now, I also find Cadbury gross and unfortunately Hershey too.
Pfft 73% brah, don't know what you're missing.
Speaking of, is there any reason why it's always specifically those percentages?
[edit] Did some research and it seems coincidental that I see the same percentages. Also interesting is that Canada doesn't allow cocoa butter substitutes and being so close to Canada, I should try to get my hands on some Canadian chocolate.
